EDITORS COMMENTS
Shanghai: The Storm Centre of the Sino-Japanese Conflict - An International Settlement Under the Protection of Fourteen Powers, 1932 This bird's eye view photograph, taken in 1932, showcases the international settlements of Shanghai during a tumultuous era of East Asian history. The image, published by Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, presents a striking contrast between the foreign quarter and the Chinese area, merging into each other along the banks of the Whangpoo River. In 1932, Shanghai was the epicentre of the Sino-Japanese conflict, with the international settlements serving as a sanctuary for foreigners under the protection of fourteen powers. This unique arrangement, which began in the late 19th century, granted extraterritorial rights to foreign residents, creating a complex and intriguing mix of cultures. The photograph reveals an aerial map of the settlements, with their well-organized streets and buildings, standing in stark contrast to the seemingly chaotic Chinese quarters. The Whangpoo River, a vital artery for trade and commerce, winds its way through the city, connecting the settlements to the rest of China. The tranquil image belies the underlying tension and turmoil that gripped Shanghai during this period. The Sino-Japanese conflict, which lasted from 1931 to 1935, saw Japan's expansionist ambitions clash with China's territorial integrity. The international settlements, with their foreign residents and commercial interests, became a focal point of the conflict, as Japan sought to extend its influence over the region. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Shanghai's complex history and the intricate interplay of politics, culture, and commerce that defined the city during the 1930s.
